Post-Bush Era: Will the World Change under an Obama Administration?
CRG Newsletter. Lead Articles
Dear Global Research Member and Newsletter Subscriber
Last week, the World witnessed a historical presidential election. The US election campaign unfolded at the height of the meltdown of financial markets.
The Bush era will soon be history. Change or Continuity?
What are the economic prospects under a Barack Obama administration? What economic solutions will be put forth? Will the Middle East war continue? What foreign policy directions might one expect under an Obama adminstration?
This issue of the CRG E-Newsletter contains a review of the “political transition” in the US including an analysis of Obama’s cabinet appointments.
It is our hope that our endeavors will contribute to curbing the tide of media disinformation, ultimately with a view to eradicating poverty, restoring social justice and establishing an enduring peace in the Middle East.
It is, therefore, important that the articles published by Global Research reach a broad readership.
While Global Research operates on a shoe string budget compared with the well-endowed establishment think tanks, we have more readers than the powerful Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) (see graph)
